50+ Years of Excellence in Hawaii

Mitsunaga & Associates, Inc. (MAI) is more than just an architecture and engineering firm—we are a testament to Hawaii’s spirit of innovation, resilience, and community. Our journey began in 1968 when founder Dennis Mitsunaga embarked on his entrepreneurial path, focusing initially on structural engineering.

In 1980, recognizing the growing needs of Hawaii’s built environment, we expanded our services to include architecture and officially incorporated as Mitsunaga & Associates, Inc. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of MAI as we know it today—a full-service firm driven by a vision to provide exceptional planning, design, engineering, and construction management services that would shape the future of our island home.

For over five decades, we’ve been at the forefront of Hawaii’s architectural and engineering landscape. Our evolution from a specialized firm to a comprehensive, multidisciplinary powerhouse reflects our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our community.

Today, as a woman-owned small business, we bring fresh perspectives to our industry, challenging conventions and fostering inclusivity. Our success over the years proves that diversity isn’t just a value—it’s a competitive advantage.

At MAI, we believe that every structure we design, every plan we develop, and every project we manage is an opportunity to make a positive impact. We’re not just building for today; we’re creating a legacy for future generations, enhancing Hawaii’s built environment with innovative, sustainable, and culturally sensitive solutions.
